This week I celebrated my birthday with an ice cream PARTY BAR. Party Bars (also known as food stations) are an instant way to add festivity & fun to any meal or party. Party bars provide an excellent excuse to mingle and a talking point for guests. They also guide you with a theme to decorate with, like my French Crepe’s party bar that I did for my Hospitality class two weeks ago.

Make a batch of mini cupcakes or make a pound cake and cut it into cubes.

Make the fondue by whisking together powdered sugar, orange juice, and corn syrup. Adjust the consistency with a drop of liquid or a dash more powdered sugar until you get have a smooth, thick glaze. Amanda used orange juice for the liquid portion to give it a citrus flavor and cheese-like yellow fondue color. You could also use grape juice for a pastel purple, or milk/water and add your own coloring.

Pour the frosting into the fondue pot. Add tons to toppings and enjoy!
